You must be a science student to study Communication Technology Under Engineering in Nigeria Universities, and that's can only be possible if you meet admission requirements. This page literally covers answers to questions related to O level and A-level requirement.
Knowing JAMB subjects for Communication Technology is not enough. You should aim for a score of 180 – 200 and above in JAMB UTME to be on a safe side (Just a piece of advice) because anything short of that may deny you of Admission/Post UTME. Of course, if you have a score below 180, you can consider College of Education or Polytechnic… Please note – JAMB is not the only option for admission. If you're having troubles JAMB UTME maybe it's time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND or Predegree.
The cut-off mark for Communication Technology 180. You can check these universities JAMB UTME cut off marks here. Communication Technology is a good course and you can also check the top best engineering courses. This should not influence you. Follow your heart or seek my counsel.
Communication Technology is how many years course and under which faculty?
Depending on your mode of entry, Communication Technology is a three to four years course in Nigeria. According to JAMB, Communication Technology is under Faculty of Agriculture but may be under a different faculty in some universities.
Can a commercial or art student study Communication Technology?
No! Communication Technology is a pure science course and not suitable for commercial or art student. But if you have required subject combination in your O level result, you can go for it if that is the course you desire to study. If you're still in secondary school, you may find it difficult to change subjects during WAEC registration because your schools may go against it. The alternative way to write the required subjects combination for Communication Technology is through GCE.
I believe you now know the subjects required to study Communication Technology. I urge you to also find out where you can work with the degree. Please take your time to read The Act of Getting a Job – so you would know what you're up against after graduating. Career opportunities will be added soon.
The SSCE O level and A-level subject needed to study Communication Technology have been listed above. Some Universities may accept D7 or E8 in some a compulsory subject instead of Credit. And some may accept or reject two sittings. That is combinations of WAEC, NECO, or GCE results. You will know more when you take a look at the special consideration (waiver) for this course if available. Please take note that when you see Check, it simply means the special consideration for this course had been merge with a related course to save space.
